Jim Harra says his officials will help ‘in any way we can’ with ethics inquiry into Tory chair’s tax affairs
The head of HM Revenue and Customs has told MPs there are “no penalties for innocent errors” in regards to tax affairs, raising further questions over the circumstances that led to the Conservative party chair, Nadhim Zahawi, being fined by the tax office.
HMRC’s chief executive, Jim Harra, said his department did not penalise taxpayers who were deemed to have taken “reasonable care”.
